"What is it that we’re livin' for?" The resounding answer is APPLAUSE. This 1970 winner of four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, is the stunning musical version of the classic film All About Eve. It’s a stylish story that revels in the wit and glamour of life in the theatre, with a sophisticated score by Charles Strouse (ANNIE) and Lee Adams (BYE, BYE BIRDIE) and book by the legendary Betty Comden and Adolph Green. APPLAUSE tells the cautionary tale of Margo Channing, an aging Broadway star, and Eve Harrington, the young innocent she takes under her wing. There is more to Eve than meets the eye, though. Watch your back, Margo!
